I don't think Fiji was that predictable. The problem is that there were accurate spoilers for that season. The moment there were no spoilers for seasons then suddenly people had a much harder time figuring out the winner

were they bored by the way the game was originally played?

Probably. They were in the third season. Shows change over time.

did they think they would get more ratings?

Not necessarily, but since it would keep players on their toes and help avoid predictable outcomes, it probably kept viewers interested a little longer. Predictable outcomes spell death in television. That was why Fiji wasn't very well-liked. Earl was an...

it is weird because i think Randy and crytsal have made for some good Tv the past couple of weeks. But I also find myself rooting for sugar.. maybe it is becuase she is cute and from brooklyn.

Someone in the game is always at a disadvantage. The tribal switches, I think, are simulations of natural diasters. Noone can stop a crippling storm or a volcano eruption, which can ruin an empire. I mean, everything in Survivor is fair(except for the rule about not stealing the hii, that makes no sense whatsoever), so whatever happens is legitimate. I hate exile island, the hii, f3s and bloated casts on aesthetic grounds, not game grounds.

The challenges are designed to lean in a certain tribes favor usually, not that it is rigging but it is manipulation, so therefore it is impossible to remove producer interference totally.

I agree, and that's why I'm not one of those nuts who say that the first two seasons are the only worthwhile ones, but Survivor has an identity crisis. It comes down to this: do you care more about watching interpersonal dynamics more, or do you care more about the game dynamics and how they impact the contestents? I care more about the former; the game is unavoidable but the twists should be used to accentuate the castaways personalities or create interesting scenarios. Outcasts can...

Well in all fairness, they are not gonna go back to basics. Its only natural after so many seasons for the show to evolve. Its needs to be accepted.

This is a discussion forum. There are people here who are awesome and well spoken, and well theres fanofcoils and CSC. People think differently from one another and I feel it's a right to pick someones brain. Until just recently, I was an nabashed optimist about the show. I loved it and defended it to death, and it pisses me off how it is being ruined nowadays. the hii IS NOT a legitimate part of the game. 20 person casts negate character. f3's are fucking stupid by their very...

Because I fucking enjoy the show for what it is. I dont need to enforce my opinions on others who dont give a rats ass . Before I came here I didnt know crazy obsessed viewers such as yourself existed. and if you can count on your fingers alone the number of days youve never watced an episode of survivor, then you really need psycological help. <3

At least I'm consistent with my criticisms, I have a basis on which Survivor can improve. You are a fickle viewer and you don't have any prerequisites or standards by which to judge every season.

Melinda fought hard to stay in the game and had a wonderful spirit. Susie is a miserable mute hag who is being dragged to the end by miserable people because she's disgusting and worthless.

So wait... You say she's mute, but you're calling her disgusting and worthless? You just have a thing against Hispanic women? If she hasn't said anything, then where is your estimation of her coming from? She seems to be one of the nicer people out there....

I liked Melinda and all, but she realized her game potential was nil due to her being on a compleatly different wavelength than the other Casayans.

Not since the Sovereign Shits has such a group of disgusting and worthless human beings been so universally worshipped on this board. The only one that's worth anything is Crystal. The rest can fuck off and die.

Do tell me how in your mind Susie = disgusting and worthless and Melinda = delightful and interesting. I'd like to witness that logic.
